Forget about fur and feathers when you have one of these sustainable coats.

It’s a new year — new decade even — and 2020 is the year to recycle fast, unethical and unsustainable fashion for Mother Nature’s sake. R.I.P. to buying cheap men’s clothes that don’t last and come from retailers that don’t have the best of reputations when it comes to sustainability and ethics.

And being more conscious about how your clothes are made and how you’re contributing to the world’s clothing waste is getting easier, too, with more and more new sustainable brands popping up and traditional sellers trying to keep up with the demand for eco-friendly fashion.

You might not think of your outerwear as something that can be even more sustainable — especially if you wear the same coat year after year — but there are a lot of jackets out there that aren’t cruelty-free and are made from fur and feathers.

But don’t worry. In the spirit of sustainability, we found men’s coats and jackets from brands that are trying to be more ethical with their products.

Luckily, L.L. Bean has also been making more of an effort to be sustainable. The brand says it’s trying to use more organic cotton and recycled fabrics in its products. Plus, it’s focusing on using down that’s 100% responsible, meaning that the down is from animals that are being treated humanely and able to be traced from farm to factory.

Check out these sustainable options from L.L. Bean:

PrimaLoft Packaway Jacket

L.L. Bean

The PrimaLoft Packaway Jacket has a completely recycled polyester shell and lining, plus Primaloft, which is a down-alternative insulation.

Stretch Primaloft Packaway Jacket

The Primaloft insulation on this L.L. Bean jacket is meant to make it ultralight and ultrawarm.

United By Blue’s mission is all about working with sustainable materials and supporting an ethical work environment. The brand hopes to remove all single-use plastics from its supply chain by the spring of this year.

Nordstrom made some efforts to spotlight more sustainable brands last year. In August 2019, the site introduced a “sustainable style” section that curates ethical and eco-friendly products across three categories.

The proceeds of products in the “gives back” category go to charitable causes that benefit animals, people and the planet. Products in the “responsibly manufactured” section come from factories that are trying to better protect their workers and the planet. And the “sustainably sourced” tab has products that are made with at least 50% sustainably sourced materials like recycled polyester.

One of the brands that shows up again and again across the different categories is Patagonia. The brand is known for its puffy vests, parkas, flannels and ethical policies — like using recycled materials and organic cotton. So if you’re looking for an ethical brand, Patagonia’s a pretty popular option. GQ even deemed Patagonia “fashion’s favorite outdoor brand.”

Here are our top two Patagonia picks from Nordstrom:

Nano Puff Bivy Water Resistant Jacket
